A ballet artist from Kyrgyzstan took 2nd place in the competition in Sochi. This was reported by the press service of the Ministry of Culture, Information and Tourism.

It is noted that from June 12 to 19, the V International Competition of Yuri Grigorovich "Young Ballet of the World" took place in Sochi and Krasnodar (Russia). Kyrgyzstan was represented by dancer Marat Sydykov.

It is reported that artistic youth from 12 countries gathered for the fifth time in Sochi under the guidance of world-renowned choreographer and ballet master Yuri Grigorovich. It is noted that out of 63 participants in the competition, Marat Sydykov was awarded the title of laureate and received a silver medal.

"Sydykov went to conquer the Sochi stage at his own expense. The lack of support did not prevent him from taking a prize-winning place," the Ministry of Culture noted.
